Hope opened her Twitter to see how the paparazzi were blackening her.
“Hope Injured by Sugar Daddy” – third trending topic.
Clicking on it, the first post was from photographer Molly.
Photographer Molly: What a coincidence! I was originally waiting at the entrance of Flourish Garden to snap a picture of Lang, the Queen of the Screen, but unexpectedly I caught Hope being picked up by a luxury car into Flourish Garden. An hour later, she came out with her right hand injured and bandaged.

What happened in between?
How did she get hurt?
The post included a video.
In the video, Hope is seen entering the Flourish villa area. Since it’s a celebrity residence area, in order to prevent paparazzi and stalkers from sneaking in, all visitors‘ identities are checked at the entrance.
Hope’s face was captured when she entered, but when she left, the camera caught her injured hand.
There was more than an hour in between.
In that short hour, marketing accounts and netizens spun countless stories about her and fabricated dozens of tales.

[Hope’s sugar daddy must live in Flourish Garden, no wonder she suddenly became a working girl and frequently trended–her sugar daddy is clearly helping her rise!)
【What could have happened in one hour to injure her hand like that?】
【Either the sugar daddy hit her, or it was the wife of the sugar daddy.】
【I saw Hope being extra careful about her back during the last livestream, like she had an injury.】
【There was indeed a wound. I work at xx hotel, and I saw blood on the back of her clothes when Hope came in to eat.]
【She’s always been injured, looks like her sugar daddy is really into hitting her, wow,

[Has anyone ffigured out who the sugarar daddy is?? l’imso curious!)
【I’m guessing its XXX, isn’t he the one who o was accused off domestic violence by hiss ex–wife?]
【It seems more like XX, the looks like a creep.】
[…..】
So boring, and so tiresome..
Hope turned off her phone. “Thelypeiis pretty high, looks like I’m really famous.”
No one expected Hope to react this way. They thought she’d be panicked and

ashamed.
Alex sneered: “Looks like you really have e thick skin! You don’t mind having a sugarar daddy, huh?”
“One who has a violent streak? Aren’t you afraid of getting killed by accident?”
Hope shot back: “Instead of worrying about me, maybe you should check if your hemorrhoids will suddenly flare up.”
“You…” Alex’s face turned red, not knowing how Hope knew about his hemorrhoids.
At this moment, the director finally approached.
The livestream had already started, but he was waiting for Hope to arrive before confirming things with her.

Hope looked at Noah, who had been quietly staying in the corner, and sneered.
“As for the villa incident, I don’t need to explain. As for the injury on my hand, I think you should ask Noah, he knows better.”
The photographer accidentally pressed the record button, and this scene was broadcasted live.
The livestream chat exploded.
【What does Hope mean by this? Is Noah her sugar daddy?)
[Oh my god, is Noah really that kind of creep?】
【So Hope and Noah were at odds in the show, turns out it was to avoid suspicion?】

【What are they really to each other, are theyey master and servant, or something more??)
【Shut up, Noah doesn’t live in Flourish Garden, can you stop making stuff up beforere you criticize him?)
【Hope is such a bitch, how dare she accuse Noah like that? Who does she think she is?)
Fortunately, Hope couldn’t see the livestream chat, or she’d be disgusted by it.
At this point, all eyes were on Noah and Sylvia, who had been quietly sitting in the
corner.
Sylvia tugged Noah’s pinky finger, a bit
nervous.

She was worried that Noah, being grateful for his life being saved, might start seeing Hope differently, like her older brother did, gradually growing closer to her and drifting away from her.
She could afford to lose her older brother, but not Noah. She still needed Noah’s connections and resources in the entertainment industry to make it big.
Noah had been out of sorts lately. After being saved in the mall, he rushed to B City for an advertisement shoot, and didn’t know how things had been handled afterward, how badly Hope was injured, or whether she went to the hospital.
Why did she save him?
Wasn’t she supposed to hate him?

Countless questions swirled in his mind. Noah really wanted to ask Hope for answers, but he had no chance before. Now…
He didn’t know how to ask, or what answer he was hoping for.
So he decided to say nothing, pretend he knew nothing.
Unexpectedly, those online people used her injury from saving him to harm and frame her!
Noah moved his mouth as if he was about to reveal the truth, but then-
The director’s phone suddenly rang, interrupting him. After answering the call, the director let out a sigh of relief.
